[quote=Anonymous]Well, your nutritionist is in the business of trying to sell you her diet plan, so of course she would say that.

Look--of course you can't gorge every night and then work it off every single day. But I credit my weightloss (and maintenance!) about 70% to exercise, and the rest to diet.

I have a sweet tooth and eat something "junky" every single day - candy, ice cream, cookies, chips, whatever. But the rest of my diet is pretty clean - I eat an abundance of fruits, vegetables, and beans/legumes. I rarely drink alcohol, don't drink sugared coffee drinks, and generally don't drink my calories.

Exercise has 100% increased my metabolism, so I burn more at rest. My exercise is pretty high intensity though (so not just walking + yoga). Plus, I'm a morning exerciser - and it's very hard to workout in the morning if I binge at night - so exercise is driving some of my food control.

Plus, releases stress, frustration, and all that good stuff. Exercise is important beyond weight management, but I also credit it heavily in my own loss/maintenance. [/quote]
